Create new or use existing info object ? How to decide ?

All;
I have this question.
I enhanced the data source with a field user ID, now I am mapping it in the transfer rules in bw. When I searched in the system (ctrl F in infobjects of RSA1) I could find related info objects but they are currently being used in several places. 
Can I use the existing one or do I have to create new info object ? How can I decide this ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
it just depends on the content of the 0USERNAME or 0USER_NAME depending on use. Usually these Infoobjects contain the source system user name (login name) for example the entries maintained in SU01 of the SAP R3 system.
If your extractor delivers the same entry, feel free to use it. If it is another kind of username (i.e. external system, database user etc.) it may be usefull to define a new object. But if you define your own ZUSERNAME Infoobject remember to provide loads for the Text and attribute fields (if required). This is for free, if you can use available infoobject which are already maintained by earlier projects.
Kind regards,
Jürgen

  • Creating new DC using existing DC like copy paste

    Dear friends,
    Any steps how to create a new DC using existing DC.
    I would like to create a new DC which is exactly equal to other DC like copy paste.
    Early reply appricated
    Many thanks.
    Lakshmikanthaiah

    Hi,
    Create the DC in the Track with same name.
    to do this, you need to remove the DC name reservation in the SLD,
    After that, copy src of old project and paste in the new project,
    before copying the src, you have to add the depedencies in your new dc as per the old dc, becuase the copying won't take the dependent dc reference,
    after adding the dependent dc's you can copy the src to new dc,
    when you paste the src under new dc's that should promt you for add some files to acitvity, other wise delete the src and paste it again until u get the popup to add files to activity,
    after pasting - repair the dc project strucutre, roload and rebuild after that check manually all the depenceies are working, now you can build the dc and deployee,
    this process work for only for the same naming dc's,
    i have done this, this will work fine,
    Cheers,

  • Creating new template using existing template

    Is anyone aware of a way to create a new project template using an existing template? I am testing a few scenarios and want to quickly be able to create a template without setting one up from scratch.
    I tried a few ways but could not find a way to do this - you can only create a project using a template, not another template.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Hi,
    Find the template from setup->Projects->Templates and use copyto , new template will be created from existing one.

  • Procedure to create new table using existing metadata

    Hi All,
    THis is what I want to achieve,
    I want to create procedure which will take a input parameter as name of a table lets say 'EMP',
    and this procedure will check whether that table exist or not?
    if exist then
    it will create a new table with name appending _dummy to existing table name (ex: new table will be EMP_DUMMY) ,
    and new table should have the same table structure ,index and constraint imposed on EMP table.
    NB: It should not be created using as select like create table EMP_DUMMY as select * from EMP where condition=false;
    Can any one please help me how to achieve this?

    Hi,
    you can use the DBMS_METADATA package
    declare
    cddl clob;
    ctable  varchar2(80):='EMP';
    cowner  varchar2(80):='HR';
    begin
    cddl:=dbms_metadata.get_ddl ('TABLE',ctable,cowner);
    cddl:=replace(cddl, 'CREATE TABLE "'||cowner||'"."'||ctable||'"','CREATE TABLE "'||cowner||'"."'||ctable||'_DUMMY"');
    dbms_output.put_line(substr(cddl,1,1200));
    execute immediate dbms_lob.substr(cddl,least(dbms_lob.getlength(cddl),32000));
    cddl:=dbms_metadata.get_dependent_ddl ('INDEX',ctable,cowner);
    cddl:=replace(cddl,'ON "'||cowner||'"."'||ctable,'ON "'||cowner||'"."'||ctable||'_DUMMY');
    execute immediate dbms_lob.substr(cddl,least(dbms_lob.getlength(cddl),32000));
    end;but you'll need to adapt (ex: existing contraint name etc)

  • Problem in creating new versions for existing DIR using CV01N

    I am working in SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 4.0 system.
    I have problem in creating new versions for existing DIR using CV01N
    I create a DIR version 00 with functional location and mpd cycles. Then when i try to create a new version by copying the contents created from already created document.I change the MPD cycles in the new version and save it.
    once when i display the first document created the mpdcycle specified in version 01 is copied to the 00 version.
    The document is inconsistent where versioning of document doesnot work properly wrt MPDCYCLE and MP HEADER.
    The problem which i found was the document identification guid remains the same for all the document versions getting created.
    The same is working fine in SAP ERP6.0 EHP3.0 sytem.
    Please someone help me in resolving the above issue.
    Regards,
    Prasad.B

    There is a change in the standard code.The reason for the above problem was  because of a missing Enhancemnet point in a standard function module 'CV110_DOC_CREATE_WITH_TEMPLATE'.
    IS-ADEC-MPD  - Enhancement to copy MPD data
    ENHANCEMENT-POINT CV110_DOC_CREATE_WTEMPL_01 SPOTS ES_SAPLCV110.

    Created a custom enhancement point similar to SAP ECC6.0 EHP 3.0 system.
    The reason was the buffer was not getting cleared previously.After inserting the above code the DIR's are getting created withot any issues.

  • Installing a New Language- Mass Updating Info Object Descriptions ?

    We recently installed a new language in our BI 7 system (Patch 16). But the Active SAP delivered info objects (namespace 0nnnn...) did not 'inherit' the SAP provided translations into the new language.
    I can update each info object one by one with descriptions in the new language.
    I can use the translation utility (once I figure it out) to updated the descriptions.
    I can activate standard business content which seems to contain the new language.
    But I'm hoping for something easier and less intrusive. I'm hoping there is a hidden SAP program that merely adds the description in the new language to my existing info objects from the Standard Business Content, without any reverse engienering, redesign, and so forth.
    Is anyone aware of anything like that ?

    Here's the answer from our discussion with SAP.
    There is a program RSDG_LANGUAGE_AFTER_IMPORT that you can run. This program replaces the object description texts in your active SAP Delivered objects with the text description from the Delivered version in the language that you just installed.  Here are OSS notes that are relevant to this issue : OSS Note 562436 and 877049.
    We executed this report using these criteria to replace default English descriptions with the business content descriptions in Polish for our implementation:
    Langauge Key "PL"
    Do not Overwrite Texts turned OFF
    It worked rapidly (150 CPU seconds) and flawlessly. I will say that the program looks for and changes the desription of EVERY object that it can find, and there is no control over changing just query elements or info objects. So step carefully. We plan on running this program in each system (after unlocking) so that we do not have to transport every single standard content object through our development / tests / production environment.
    Once you are finished with this, you will, of course, need to use the translation tools to translate your custom objects. I've personally found the BI 7 translation tools to be much easier to work with than the earlier versions, but that may simply be a symptom of our upgrade process (we just upgraded to BI 7 from BW 3.5)

  • I have created a slideshow using i Photo. How do I burn it to disc so that I can play it on my DVD?

    I have created a slideshow using i Photo.
    How do I burn it to disc to play on a DVD.
    I cannot access i DVD.
    Is this the problem?
    I have exported the slideshow as a movie quick time file.
    What do I do next???

    If your Mac is a new one, like mine, then it comes with a version of iLife that doesn't have iDVD and if so, there isn't an easy way to burn a DVD from iPhoto or iMovie that will play on a normal DVD player.  There is quite a bit of correspondence about this, but I couldn't find a good answer, apart from this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18460085#18460085
    I ended up buying (via Amazon) a boxed version of iLife11, which has all the same software I already have, but with a copy of iDVD with it. 
    Seems to work well with iMovie, but at the moment, my copy of iPhoto has crashed - see:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18943719#18943719
    Having only just transferred from a Windows machine to a Mac, it seems incredibly arrogant for Apple to think people don't use DVD players anymore.

    Sure there can.  Don't you see the input on the Express VI for a file? "Path To Save Report" is the name of the input you want.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to copy one list items new list using client side object model.
    You can use console application.

  • Creating new Positions using RH_CREATE_POSITIONS?

    Hi
    I tried to use the RFC rh_create_positions to create new positions using C#. But
    i get an error:"Screen output without connection to user".
    Well is there any work around for it or is there any other RFC/BAPI i can use to create positions under an org unit.
    any suggestions are welcome!!!!!
    thanks

    Yes, the BAPI doesn't create the position ID.  You need three tables to be populated for update
    1. hr_object_header - one entry for entire update
    2. hr_infotype_header - one entry for each infotype record update
    3. pd_object - required if you have IT1000 in hr_infotype_header
    4. pd_object_relationships - required if you have IT1001 in hr_infotype header
    Similarly all other tables need update based on records on hr_infotype_header.

  • New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg image from the web (as in a right click on a pc?)

    New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg from the internet, similar to using the right mouse click on a pc?

    If your question comes about because you have a single button mouse, it's time to visit your local computer store and get a ''real'' mouse for that MAC. I don't "get" Apple, they sell their hardware for almost twice what a comparable PC would sell for - and then they leave out what is probably the most important time saving control, the right-button.

    Hi,
    You can try LSMW (Direct method) for uploading class values.
    Upload file can hae following structure:
    OBJEK     |     ATINN     |     KLART     |     ATWRT
    Release Grou+Release strategy |     Characteristic name     |     Class type     |     Class Value
    e.g. rel grp is PO, rel strategy is 01, characteristic name is EBAN_EKORG, and class value is 1000 then
    OBJEK     |     ATINN     |     KLART     |     ATWRT
    PO01     |     EBAN_EKORG |     032     |     1000
    multiple characterstics can be
